So, does this mean you want to go on an adventure in
UT in July?

Yeterday's ride was the first downhill I have done since
the New Year that I actually got any speed on a really
bumpy trail, and my wrist held up fine. Sure, it was sore,
but it didn't prevent me from riding the way I wanted to.
This evening's ride was even better. Emboldened by
yesterday's success (and lack of subsequent pain) I really
let it rip in the downhill, launching the water bars and
rocks, generally enjoying riding at speed for the first
time in months.

Awesome, Miles! Great to hear that you're recover(ing|ed).

Of course I WANT to, the question is whether or not I'll be
able to. What dates are you thinking about?

On saturday morning my friend Morgan and I rode Cowles
Mountain, up Mesa Trail to Big Rock Trail to the top, then
back down Big Rock Trail. This evening we rode up Mesa
Trail to Big Rock Trail to the top, then reversed our
course for the downhill. These are steep, rocky, demanding
trails. I counted one time, and Big Rock Trail has 176
water bars made from railroad ties, some better buried
than others. I haven't counted how many are on Mesa Trail,
but it's a bunch as well.

Anyhow, I've been very tentative on downhills this year,
since my wrist has been so sore, and my hand really hasn't
had any strength to it. On bumpy sections I have come very
close to losing my grip on the bar entirely. It has
hampered my riding quite a bit but things have been
getting better.

you will truly be back when you get to the top of Black
Mountain before me. Nobody wants that to happen more than me
becuase although I've enjoyed getting the top before you, it
simply shouldn't happen regularly and I'll be the first to
admit that!

good to hear the wrists aren't bothering you as much as even
a month ago.

Right now it looks like July 26, 27 and 28.

That might work. On the weekend after the fourth of July
weekend (whatever those dates are) I'll be in Oregon
visiting da fambly, but at the end of the month I may well
be able to squeeze out some decompression time... Keep me
posted as the time gets closer.

Awesome, just make sure you don't push it too hard, too
early. You don't want to end up like <ridemonkey-ridemonkey-Open ↗
